The 26-year-old has only played twice for the Cottagers since joining in January for £12m, having struggled for fitness with a knee injury.

But Magath has revealed the Greek could play a role against the Potters on Saturday, as the West London side look to bounce back from their disappointing 2-2 draw against Hull last week.

"He has trained with us for the whole week, he is able to join us (at Stoke)," Magath said.

"Fully fit? I don't know but he is ready to join us."

Fulham looked to have sealed an all important win against the Tigers at the KC Stadium, only to surrender a two goal lead late on.

"We had control over the game and there was maybe one situation where we weren't careful enough, I had a feeling that Saturday the players were excited for the result , for the crowd and the feeling to lead," Magath said on the result.

"It was clear the team wanted to play more offensively, but it would have been better to avoid the goals."

One player who may have to sit out the weekend fixture is Steve Sidwell, who hasn't trained this week but still has a chance of making the team according to Magath.

"There is a chance, but he hasn't trained up until now but maybe he can start today," the German coach added.
